"Ah~ So soft!!"
"Bah, I'm an upright gentleman. I'm only checking her heartbeat right now. I definitely don't have any other intentions. Mm, that's right."
"Thump, thump!!"
"Good grief, her heartbeat's even stronger than mine. Looks like she's not dead."
After discovering that A-Zhui was still alive, Ye Chen thought for a moment, then carried her onto his back. He also stored the Flame Sword beside her into his portable space before slowly climbing out of the pit.
Half an hour later.
Ye Chen couldn't help leaning against the nearby tree as he gasped for breath.
"Whew~, damn it, I'm exhausted. And what the hell is this place, anyway? Don't tell me I fell into a primeval forest."
Looking at the surroundings, where there were nothing but trees upon trees, Ye Chen couldn't help complaining.
Night fell.
After much difficulty, Ye Chen found a cave that some unknown animal had apparently lived in. He cleaned it out, then dropped onto the ground and panted heavily.
"Whew~, I'm dead tired."
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ye Chen shivered when the cold wind from outside blew over him. The temperature after nightfall was freaking cold.
He was only wearing clothes woven from plant vines and tree leaves. They had been cool during the day, but now it was nighttime. He had also just sweated heavily, so the wind immediately made him feel cold.
Ye Chen wanted to start a fire and was preparing to go outside to look for dry branches, but then he glanced at the pitch-black sky outside the cave and listened to the roars of beasts that sounded from time to time.
Fine, being a little cold was better than being eaten by wild beasts.
Besides, his healing ability was far too powerful. If a wild beast bit off a chunk of his flesh, his flesh would probably grow back before the beast had even swallowed it.
By then, the more than one hundred pounds of flesh on his body would probably be enough to feed a small pack of beasts.
Thinking of that scene, he couldn't help shuddering.
Sometimes, having an overly powerful healing ability wasn't necessarily a good thing.
At the very least, trying to commit suicide would be extremely painful.
Ye Chen turned to look at A-Zhui inside the cave. After thinking it over, he went to her side and immediately felt much warmer.
As expected of a super soldier—she even came with an automatic heating function.
As it grew later and later, Ye Chen fell asleep without realizing it. Since the temperature outside continued to drop, he instinctively moved closer to A-Zhui. In the end, he hugged her like a koala.
The next day.
Ye Chen slowly woke up. He then saw all kinds of insects lying dead all around them, with him and A-Zhui at the center. It made his scalp go numb.
"Holy crap, what the hell is this?"
He immediately understood. The insects outside had probably crawled inside after he fell asleep the previous night and tried to approach them, but for some unknown reason, they had all died.
As for the reason, it wasn't difficult to guess. It was probably because of A-Zhui.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt a wave of lingering fear. If A-Zhui hadn't been there this time, he might have been covered by these insects the previous night.
Just imagining those insects crawling all over his body and burrowing into his mouth, ears, and other openings made Ye Chen shudder with disgust. His whole body felt uncomfortable.
"A-Zhui, I never expected you to be not only a human warmer but also an insect killer. I really love you to death."
As he spoke, Ye Chen hugged A-Zhui.
Looking at A-Zhui's pretty face so close to him, Ye Chen's heart trembled.
He admitted that he had fallen for her.
Looking at A-Zhui in front of him, Ye Chen wrestled with himself. In his previous life, when he had watched The Supernatural Academy, he had been especially fond of the valiant and dashing A-Zhui.
Now, the woman he had dreamed of in his previous life was right before him. To be honest, he wanted to kiss her, but he knew it was wrong. The morals he had held in his previous life tightly restrained him.
Ten minutes later.
"So soft, just like marshmallow."
After struggling for a long while, Ye Chen still chose the wrong decision.
Most importantly, there was no one around, making it easy for his desires to break through the restraints of morality.
"Boom!!"
"Fuck!!"
Before he could react, Ye Chen felt a pain in his chest. His entire body was instantly slammed hard into the wall.
"Cough, cough!!"
"That really hurts, fuck!!"
Clutching his chest, Ye Chen couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His self-healing ability immediately activated, and the injuries inside his body rapidly recovered. However, the pain in his chest still made him grimace.
"Who are you?!"
A cold voice filled with killing intent rang out. Ye Chen looked up and saw A-Zhui staring at him with murderous fury on her pretty face.
"This... Ha... ha! You're awake?!"
Looking at A-Zhui's murderous expression, Ye Chen felt extremely awkward.
He had never expected that, after being single since birth and growing up as an exemplary student, the first time he had acted like a lecher and secretly kissed someone, he would be caught red-handed. This was incredibly awkward.
"Tell me, who are you? Otherwise, die!!"
Looking at Ye Chen before her, A-Zhui waved her hand and transported a Flame Sword out of the Dark Dimension again, pointing it coldly at him.
"Don't attack! I'll explain right now. Yesterday, I saw you unconscious in a huge pit in a valley. I was worried you were in danger, so I carried you here. I saved your life, so you can't repay my kindness with enmity!"
Looking at the Flame Sword within arm's reach, Ye Chen swallowed and hurriedly explained.
Hearing this, A-Zhui couldn't help frowning.
Immediately afterward, A-Zhui's pupils turned white as she began reading the dark information from the previous day. Soon, she learned what had happened yesterday—and what had happened today.
A-Zhui looked at Ye Chen before her and couldn't help tightening her grip on the sword in her hand.
At that moment, she truly wanted to cleave him in two with a single strike. Not only had this man stolen her first kiss, he had also hugged her and slept beside her for an entire night.
After remaining silent for a long while, A-Zhui sighed inwardly and took a deep look at this mortal who had stolen her first kiss and slept beside her.
The next moment, the wings behind her trembled lightly, and her figure vanished instantly.
Blue Star, outer space.
A-Zhui looked at Blue Star before her, as if she could see Ye Chen below through the thick layers of clouds.
"Ah, let's just pretend none of this happened. Anyway, mortals only live for a brief hundred years. Perhaps by the next time I come here, this person will have already turned into a pile of mud rotting in the soil."
After saying this, A-Zhui turned and flew toward the Angel Nebula.
But Ye Chen—the man who had stolen her first kiss and slept while hugging her for an entire night—was ultimately engraved deeply in her memory.
